Tiny Pies - Lakeway

My wife was craving a piece of chocolate cake from La Madeleine but it was late on a Sunday and I didn 't want to drive across town to see if they had any. I started searching to see what was close and had never heard of Tiny Pies but thought I 'd surprise her and try it out. I called them and was told they had three creme pies avail and two fruit pies available. I headed over and got the following: Cherry-1 Apple-2 1 each of the Coconut, Banana and Chocolate cream pies.The service was great. The girl working was very polite when I called and when I arrived. I got home to surprise my wife but unfortunately she didn 't care for the Cherrie or Apple. I tried the apple and didn 't care for it either. We then let our son try both and he wouldn 't eat either. I 'm not saying they were bad, just didn 't hit the spot, so we saved the other three for the next day. On Monday, after dinner, we tried the Coconut, Banana Chocolate cream and slightly disappointed. The Coconut was by far the best of the three. The Banana had one large piece of banana in it and very little cream. The chocolate had very little chocolate cream in it . All three had a TON of whipped cream, which made up probably 60% of the pie, with the crust making up 35% and then the filling only about 5%.Ultimately, it was just a learning experience. I wouldn 't tell anyone not to go here for again the service was great and the place is VERY clean.I know some say it 's expensive but considering I got six little pies, that 's about the same as a full cake from LaMadeleine.The total for all six was right around $40 and with tip it was around 45, so that 's the same price as a full Sacher Torte at LaMadeleine.The biggest difference is the Tiny Pies are almost all crust and whipped cream, so not our cup of tea. I will say the crust was good though. It wasn 't a cheap bad tasting crust, but if/when you get a Sacher Torte from La Madeleine I guarantee you will eat every last crumb. :

Went to Tiny Pies yesterday evening with my father. We were looking for a dessert for the 24th, and wanted to try it out before ordering a large pie.The pies in of themselves were tasty. The service is what put us off. Three employees: one on her phone, never looked up. Second one came in at the same time as we did and stared at us from behind the counter without offering suggestions. None of the three greeted us, offered help or suggestions. Our presence was acknowledged once we were ready to check out. They weren’t mean by any means, but they were a bit rude. The cold welcome and lack of acknowledgement didn’t make us want to purchase there again, which is a shame because I can certainly appreciate the concept and the story behind the inception of the shop. Based off of prior reviews, the staff’s demeanor seems to be a recurring problem that might be standing in the way of this shop reaching its full potential.

Excellent choices! All delicious! Clean. Helpful staff. Well stocked. Directions included!

Love the coconut tiny pie and the apple bourbon tiny pie! Great service, was greeted as soon as I walked in. And I'm happy they are much closer to home, I don't need to drive into Austin.

Okay so owning and operating a small business is all about responsiveness and customer attention. In short, to cite a cliché, making lemons from lemonade. Concisely, Tiny Pies gets it. Oh and before I ramble on about their exemplary customer service the food is awesome! We picked up a Key Lime, Sweet TX Pecan, and a couple of savory pies. All terrific.You have won over a repeat customer. Great job!
